Now again, something to be concerned with here is that, we're not just making latte art. We're making drinks, so #espresso is a vital component of that. We want to make sure that this is tasting as good as it possibly can be, before we start pouring latte art into it.
Again, you don't want to give someone a drink that looks beautiful, but tastes awful. That's a lie. Espresso art is like plating for a chef, and you don't want to have beautiful food that's just thrown on a plate. That's not giving you the promise of that really tasty food in front of you.
You don't want to have a beautifully plated meal that tastes like garbage. You want to have a beautifully plated meal that tastes as good as it looks. We're using #espresso today that tastes excellent, when it looks its best in the cup, so this #Espresso Toscano. It likes to be a really short shot and it's great for pouring latte art into.
So first things first, we're going to take the porta filter out of the group head. We're going to make it nice and clean and dry with a towel. It should have no water or residual coffee left in here, because you want to make sure that the coffee goes into the porta filter dry and stays dry, until we put water onto it. We don't want to begin the extraction process, before we're actually ready to brew the coffee.
So we're going to fill the porta filter and I'll level it off. I'm going to tamp this down, just to make it a nice and even puck, so water will travel through evenly; and clean up the rim, so it'll form a tight seal on the espresso machine. What we're looking for here is an extraction that occurs between 20 and 30 seconds, and gives us about a one to two-ounce pour from the espresso.
We're going to terminate this at what's called the blonding point, which means that the espresso is going to turn from a nice dark brown to kind of a platinum yellow color and we're going to look for that here in the cup. You want to part the group head, to make sure the water coming through is nice and fresh. Wipe up the mess, lock it and immediately brew and get our cups down here.
So here you can see it's nice and goopy, a nice and dark, kind of an amber color. As it continues, the streams will speed up, and it'll get lighter and lighter and lighter, until it turns yellow and at that point, we're going to stop the shot. So there we go. See that nice dark shot of espresso?
That took about 25 seconds and should taste great; it's nice. So we talk about the extraction of these shots by referencing the contact time. So this shot took 25 seconds to brew. If I tasted it and noticed it was a little bit too bitter, I might want to bring that time down by coarsing the grind.
If I tasted it, and it seemed a little boring or maybe a little sour, that means it's under-extracted and I might want to bring that time a little longer by making the grind finer. Now the grinder really dictates how the espresso tastes. We're just putting consistent pressure on it at the espresso machine. So managing extraction by managing grind and shot time is really what makes this espresso sing.

Recipe at: http://www.themeatmen.sg/chyepoh-tofu
Chye poh or preserved radish bits makes an excellent savoury topping for any dish. When fried in oil, It releases this concentrated radish aroma and is sweet and crispy at the same time. This goes so well with the deep fried tofu which is crusty on the outside and soft on the inside.
Lastly, finish off with the abalone sauce give it the flavour body it needs.
We chose a big piece of tofu so that the whole family can dig in. And be generous with the chye poh topping. Try out this different way to serve tofu. This dinner dish is definitely a superb keepsake!

Today one of our biggest concerns is maximizing what we have to get the most out of our day and our dollar. For many of us, time is very limited and between our jobs, taking care of the kids, finishing off household chores and checking off endless family obligations, there just isn’t that much spare time left. In addition to time concerns, we all have varying degrees of worry over money, savings and how we can get the most from every dollar. Combined, these pressures of time and money can make our daily lives a real challenge sometimes. Sometimes the juggling can be a bit much for people, but there are some small techniques, or hacks, that can alleviate a bit of the pressure.
Food and eating is one area where people either just don’t have the time, the equipment or the money to do things properly. How many times have you tried to cut something and been forced to use a dull or improper knife? How often have you been in such a rush that you think you don’t have time to prepare a proper meal? How often have you ended up throwing out a lot of food because you just lost track of time and it went bad? When you think of the amount of wasted money, time restrictions and frustration we experience in relation to food, it’s no wonder most of us don’t eat properly. After all, it often just seems easier to grab some fast food or go to the store to buy those special baked goods. It also seems easier to pass on that fruit this week at the grocery store because you just seem to throw more out than you actually eat.
Search around the internet and talk to some friends and there is a good chance you can pick up some tips and techniques to help you out in the kitchen. These food hacks can be very beneficial in a number of ways. If you’re tired of watching food go bad, there are some quick and easy ways to make it last a little bit longer so you get a chance to enjoy it. Love to create and bake but tired of making a mess and mangling your creations once they’re done? There are a host of methods out there to become a kitchen ninja who can make super-clean cuts and tidy presentations. Even if you’re looking just to reduce the pain of food preparation, reduce the bill a couple bucks or save a minute here and there, these food hacks will help you cut those corners when you need it the most.
